Outlook Hotmail Connector Build 14.0.5139.5001 Now Available Minus HTTPS Support

A new version Build 14.0.5139.5001 of the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector tool is now available. The tool allows users to seamlessly connect their Windows Live Hotmail accounts with Office Outlook.

Alessio Roic, Outlook Senior Program Manager, enumerated the new features offered to customers that access their Windows Live Hotmail accounts in Outlook:

Fixes for hangs and crashes experienced when sending meetings using the Hotmail Connector and when adding a new Hotmail account to an existing profile.

Fix for an issue where Windows Live contacts’ birthdays and anniversaries shifted by one day when synchronized with Outlook.

Fix for an issue that blocked synchronization of the Category property in an Outlook contact with Windows Live.
